About the role

The Manufacturing Engineer – Piping & HVAC Detail Planning translates piping and HVAC system designs into the detailed, shop-floor-ready work instructions that production teams use to fabricate, assemble, and install these systems aboard autonomous surface vessels. This role defines how piping and HVAC systems are broken into spools and subassemblies, how those pieces are built and installed in sequence, and how they ultimately come together into a complete, functioning ship. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

  • Working knowledge of how ships are built, including unit/block construction, erection sequence, and zone outfitting
  • Ability to read and interpret isometric drawings, P&IDs, 3D models, and general arrangement drawings
  • Strong written communication skills to produce clear, unambiguous work instructions
